ll is to be regretted that the people ot a community can become so excit¬ ed about a subject like Daylight Sav¬ ing as was evidenced on .Monday night when Council apparently was divided in its opinion as much as the people of Nazareth are divided on Ihe same subject, and should resort to abusing our body of Councilmen in the manner as was shown on the sireets after the fact that a tie vote was cast on the subject became known.

A workman on his way home from the cement plant saw flames leaping through a second story window ot one of the houses. Rousing all the families along the little street, most of them managed to get their belong¬ ings out of their homes, piling them ar safe distances from where the fire was communicating from one frame building to another. Almost as fjuickly as the flames touched the dry woodwork of an adjoining build¬ ing it was beyond means of saving.
The Bath and Xazarelh fire com¬ panies were called to the scene and made futile efforts to arrest the pro¬ gress of the fire, but it had gained too much headway by the time of their arrival to save the buildings.
The fire, it is said, started in the third story of a building tenanted by the owner of the row, a resident of Bath. While the owner tenanted the lower part ot his home, another fam¬ ily occupied the upper portion. Both families, it is reported, were not at home when the fire started.
The blaze started, it was said, by severa! on the scene, from an over-_ heated flue. Nothing definite could be learned as there was not enougli evidence left for anyone lo determ¬ ine what caused the heavy property loss or started the fire.
Several weeks ago it was reported the owner placed the properties on the market for sale, placing a valu¬ ation on them as reported at $7000 or fSOOO which with the loss .of some of the belonging of the tenants would make a total loss of close to Sl0.000. One ot the buildings burn¬ ed was a distillery at one time.
